..poCroRING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival Of Old Time
SImplicities.

SlmplicitieS.
In one of Harper's issues Is gwen very
fine illustration OF Roberts celebratea
painting, known as ''Doctoring Old Time. -
1t represents typical old-timer, with MS
bellows blowing the dust from an snclent
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks In this gene
ration ia appreciated only as rare relic:
The suggestive name, "Doctorlng oid
Time brings to our minds another YER
sion of the title, for another purpose, tine
"Old Time Doctoring.'
We learn, through areliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary mel
cine firms of the country, has been LOT
years investigatingt the formulas and medi-
cal preparations used in the beginning oil
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaining why people in our great,
grandlathers' time enjoyed health ana
physical vigor so seldom found In the
present generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets. Ihey
find that the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that Mature has remedy Tor
every existing disorder" was true, and act
ing under this belief, our grandparents used
the common herbs and plants. Cotlnual
trespass upon the forest domain, has made
these herbs less abundant, and has driven
them further from civilization, until they
have been discarded, as remedial agents
because of the difficulty of obtaining them.
II. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories, un-
til be has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his firm is now pre-
pairing medicines TO be sold by all drug
gists.
Ihev will, we learn, be known under
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines will
be a "Sarsaparilla," for the blood and
liver, Leg Cabin Hops and Buchu REM
edY," for tie stomach, ETC., LOG Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy" rem
edy called "Scalpiue. " for the hair, I'D <
Cabin Extract" for internal and external
use, and an old valuable discovery for
Catarrh, called "Log Cabin Rose Cream"
Among the list is also Log Cabin Pas
ter" and Log Cabin Liver Pill "
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose TO cure all
diseases with one preparation 1t IS be-
leved by many that with these remedies a
new era is to dawn upon suffering humanity,
and that the close Of the nineteenth century
will see these rOotsand herbs, as compound
ed under the title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, as popular as they were at its be-
ginning. Although they come in the form
of proprietary medicines, yet they will be
none the less welcome, for suffering human
ity has become tired OF modem doctoring
and the pubic has great confidence III any
remedies put up by the firm G: which ii. d..
Warner is the head. The people have be-
come susriciuus of the effects of doctorlng
with poisonous drugs. Few realize the in
furious effects following the prescriptions Oh
many modrrn physicians. These effects OF
poisonous druga, already prominent, will
become more pronounced in coming gener-
ations. Therefore we can cordially wish the
old-fash;oned new remedies the best Of sue
cess.
